The 2017 FC Taraz season is the ninth successive season that the club will play in the Kazakhstan Premier League, the highest tier of association football in Kazakhstan, and 24th in total.
On 4 January, Taraz announced the appointment of Vait Talgayev as their new manager, replacing Yuriy Maksymov.
Despite originally being relegated at the end of the 2016 season to the Kazakhstan First Division, Taraz were re-instated to the Premier League on 3 February 2017, when the Football Federation of Kazakhstan ruled that Altai Semey did not meet the required entry requirements for the Premier League, and would be replaced by Taraz.
